Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A footman is a raised metal stand designed to sit on a fireplace hearth, historically used during the 18th and 19th centuries to keep food, kettles, or flatirons warm near the fire embers.

Victorian footmen were typically constructed with polished brass tops and front legs for decorative display, paired with iron rear legs and undersupports engineered to withstand direct heat.

Authentic 19th-century examples exhibit cast brass components, hand-cut pierced apron fretwork, period-correct iron subframes, and threaded bolt fixings rather than modern uniform screws.

A brass footman can be positioned on a fireplace hearth as a sculptural focal point or repurposed in a living space as a low occasional plant stand.

Maintain the surface by dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and applying specialized brass polish periodically, avoiding aggressive abrasive chemicals that can strip historical patination.
